This is the blues.
New boards of Canada…. Sublime images and sublime sounds.
Polly Jean sings a confessional tribute to her deceased friend, The immutable Jeff Buckley who drowned swimming in the wolf river in Tennessee. She hints at their time spent together. Polly Jean and Jeff sharing secrets, the very thought of it fires the imagination.

Stuck on Gum – A track from the incredible fifth album in the SYR series. Musical Perspective from SYR5 (Kim Gordon, Ikue Morie and DJ Olive). In fact the whole album is quite sublime.
